Thousands of surgeries may be cut in Metro Vancouver, leaked paper reveals


Thousands of surgeries may be cut in Metro Vancouver, leaked paper reveals: "Vancouver patients needing neurosurgery, treatment for vascular diseases and other medically necessary procedures can expect to wait longer for care, NDP health critic Adrian Dix said Monday.
Dix said a Vancouver Coastal Health Authority document shows it is considering chopping more than 6,000 surgeries in an effort to make up for a dramatic budgetary shortfall that could reach $200 million."

Anyone notice the liberal's old popular phrase "Canadian style health care" seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth?
